I hear these folks offer custom tunes for edge cs and cts tuners, including writing out the egr to prevent the cel from tripping. Contact them for more info.

I didn't clarify,,, but both trucks had the egr delete. I never just unplugged it and left it in.

If unplugged the egr will not actuate, thereby keeping exhaust gasses out of the intake. The drawbacks are that the fan kicks on later than normal, which you've already heard. the other thing to keep in mind is that you still have an erg cooler in place that has the potential to fail. Honestly if you're interested in doing it, do it the right way and bypass or delete the cooler.

Btw,, if you want to do the absolute cheapest egr delete, just weld the exhaust input n output ports closed on the egr cooler. Then bolt it back in. Even if its ruptured, it will just fill up with coolant,,, but it won't have anywhere to go. Then you can make a flat plate to cover the egr valve hole, prob could just unplug the valve tho n leave it in. I did this on my first 06,,,, But I made a plate for the valve hole. It'd prob be just the same to put the valve in but leave it unplugged. I wonder with sct written to delete the egr, then weld the cooler, and break the tabs on the electrical connector (so the egr valve can b plugged in without making contact), if it would pass for those needing emission testing???

My fan kicks on full force at 218. I can't say on the 03/04's, but on both my 06's,,, the egr didn't affect the fan at all

Honestly cant attest from personal experience, this is only what ive heard. I've chosen to leave mine alone for now, but when i clean it at the 30,000 mark, I'm sure I'll be changing my mind haha

I did the Stealth Delete on Thanksgiving and was running an SCT tuner before so never ran stock with the delete.
I figured what the hell and Monday re-loaded the stock tune and I have yet to have a CEL for the EGR. Although my truck hasn't been flashed since January 2007, that might play a roll in the non-CEL.
So...
Stealth Delete, EGR stock location and connected. VXCF4 strategy, FICM Buzz Flash
